U.Dance is a national programme run by Youth Dance England, the UK wide organisation that champions dance for all children and young people.

The Somerset Youth Dance Company is an exciting initiative being run by Take Art, aimed at bringing together Somerset’s 'Gifted and Talented' young dancers to work together as a company with opportunities to work with professional choreographers, venues and performers. The U Dance platform is such an opportunity, where the group will be able to perform alongside the best young dancers in the South West.

The other groups that have been accepted for U.Dance South West 2012 include:

Attik Youth Dance Company and Devon Youth Dance Company from SE Cornwall/Devon
Tapistory, Portrait Youth Dance Company and Shake from Dorset
East Bridgewater Community School also from Somerset
Jigsaw: Salisbury Youth Dance Company, Swindon Youth Dance and Westbury P.O.P from Wiltshire
